The classic English case setting out the exercise of due diligence required under English law is generally regarded as being the MUNCASTER CASTLE decision.1 This case was first heard by the High Court in 1958. The decision was appealed to the Court of Appeal and from there to the House of Lords, which gave judgment just before Christmas 1960. Interestingly, judgment was in the amount of GBP 974, plus interest and costs.
1 Riverstone Meat Co. Pty Ltd. v. Lancashire Shipping Co. Ltd. (1961)1 Lloyd's Rep. 57.
The facts were as follows. The MUNCASTER CASTLE experienced heavy weather during a voyage from Australia to London. Cargo in No. 5 lower hold was damaged by sea water. The most probable method of ingress was found to be leakage through inspection covers over storm valves. These covers had been replaced before the vessel's prior voyage from the UK to Australia, immediately after an inspection of the valves themselves, but the court found that the securing nuts had been improperly fitted. The replacement of the covers and fitting of the nuts was carried out by a fitter employed by a firm of ship-repairers who were instructed by the owners' managers' superintendent to remove the covers for the inspection mentioned.
The question for the judge was simple. It was accepted that the shipowners had, through their superintendent, acted diligently in selecting the (competent) ship-repairers. An employee (the fitter) of the ship-repairers had been negligent in his work. This negligence would not have been discoverable by the superintendent or by Class in the performance of the usual duties. Were the shipowners liable to cargo interests for the fitter's negligence? Put another way, had owners proved that they had exercised the due diligence required of them by law?
The judge decided that they had and found them not liable. Cargo interests appealed. They argued that part of the exercise of due diligence had been delegated by owners to the ship-repairers and that, as a result of the negligence of their employee, the ship-repairers had failed to exercise that due diligence. After due consideration, the Court of Appeal agreed with the judge in the High Court and rejected cargo owners' appeal.
Cargo interests then appealed to the House of Lords, who, by a five-nil verdict, reversed the two previous decisions and found in favour of the cargo owners and against the shipowners. Unusually, all five Law Lords commented on the case and put forward reasoned arguments in support of their decision to allow the appeal. In itself, this is perhaps indicative of the importance of this case. Space does not allow a full review of their Lordships' decision, but it can be summarised by saying that they decided that the exercise of due diligence required from a shipowner under Article III Rule 1 of the Hague Rules covered not only the shipowners, their employees and servants (who, it was not disputed, had exercised due diligence), but also their sub-contractors and agents, whether independent or not. Their Lordships decided that the ship-repairers and their (negligent) employee fell into the second category. On this basis, the shipowners were held liable.
Many people might well see this as an unfairly heavy responsibility. What more can a shipowner do beyond acting responsibly, both in his own actions and in the selection of a competent and reputable sub-contractor? In practice, the answer is probably "not very much". As a result of the MUNCASTER CASTLE decision, the question is, arguably, irrelevant in many cases. Negligence of some sort, on the part of someone acting on behalf of the shipowner, will often be the cause of a serious incident. Leaving aside a "management of the ship" type argument, a shipowner trying to prove the exercise of due diligence is, as a result of this decision, likely to face a difficult task. Although this has not been tested in court, advice received by Gard suggests that much may depend on the purpose of the work being performed by the sub-contractor in question.2 In other words, if the work is carried out specifically for the vessel in question (as was the case in the MUNCASTER CASTLE and as is likely to be the case when repairs to a vessel or her equipment are carried out), the English courts are likely to find a shipowner liable as a result of negligence on the part of the sub-contractor or his employee(s), unless the owner can produce evidence, on his own behalf and on behalf of the sub-contractor, showing that both parties took all steps and precautions which were reasonable in the circumstances. However, if a sub-contractor's work is being done generally for the shipping industry and not specifically for the vessel in question, it is arguable that an owner can not be expected to be responsible for (i.e., exercise due diligence on behalf of) such a sub-contractor. All an owner has to do is to appoint a reputable sub-contractor. An example of this could be a company making navigational equipment for the shipping industry as a whole, which happens, by accident, to supply a defective part to a particular vessel. The part itself comes from stock: it is not specifically made or supplied for that vessel.
2 See article "Due diligence to make a vessel seaworthy" in this issue of Gard News.
Nevertheless, for 40 years, the legal position in England has remained unchanged and unchallenged. Attempts by carriers to avoid the authority of the MUNCASTER CASTLE case have been few and far between. The method used has normally been to try to distinguish the facts of a particular case from those of the MUNCASTER CASTLE, rather than to argue against the legal basis of that decision.
A recent English decision, initially by the High Court and later by the Court of Appeal, has upheld the reasoning behind the MUNCASTER CASTLE case and has again confirmed that a very heavy burden of proof rests on a carrier attempting to show that he has exercised "due diligence to make the vessel seaworthy". The case in question concerns the vessel FJORD WIND.3 The Court of Appeal gave judgment in July this year.
3 Eridania SpA & others v. Rudolf A. Oetker & others (2000)2 Lloyd's Rep. 191.
The facts of the case were as follows. The vessel loaded a cargo of soya beans at ports in Argentina for carriage to Europe in July 1990. A few hours only after departure, a crankpin bearing on the main engine failed. Repairs would have taken several months. Having received notice of frustration of the voyage from the shipowners, cargo interests arranged for the cargo to be transhipped and on-carried to destination. They then sued both the shipowners and the disponent owners, under the bill of lading and sub-charterparty, in an attempt to recover the costs of transhipment and on-carriage.
Two main issues arose. The first was whether, contractually, the disponent owners were simply obliged to exercise due diligence to make the vessel seaworthy, or whether a clause in the voyage charterparty constituted an absolute warranty of seaworthiness. The second was whether the vessel was unseaworthy at the commencement of the voyage and if so, whether the disponent owners had complied with their contractual obligation.
At the first hearing, the judge decided that, for the voyage in question, the obligation on the disponent owners was to exercise due diligence only. No absolute warranty of seaworthiness applied to this voyage. However, the vessel was found to have been unseaworthy at the commencement of the voyage. The vital question, therefore, was whether disponent owners had exercised the required due diligence and could prove that they had done so.
Investigations revealed that there had been a history of crankpin failures in the previous ten years. The most recent had occurred some 17 months before the voyage. The Court accepted that the owners had carried out detailed investigations, both before and after the casualty, in an attempt to establish the cause of the recurring problem with the crankpin bearings. The engine builders had been consulted each time a problem arose. There was nothing to indicate that the work performed by the engine builders was inadequate or inappropriate. Nor were owners at fault for not involving independent consultants or experts. Nobody could find out why the problem kept on happening. Therefore, the owners argued, they and their servants had done everything that was reasonably possible to identify and rectify the problem.
The first instance judge and the three Court of Appeal judges all disagreed with owners. They approached the question from the opposite end and underlined the well-known fact that it is for owners to discharge the burden of proof of showing that they (and those for whom they were responsible) had exercised due diligence. The fact that neither owners nor the engine builders were able to identify the cause of the problem placed owners at a disadvantage and the only way they could discharge the burden of proof was by showing that they and those for whom they were responsible had carried out all the investigations which a reasonably competent person would have done in the same circumstances. It was here that owners' argument broke down. During the trial, owners put forward no evidence from the engine builders as to what they had done to identify and rectify the problem. Nor did owners explain why no such evidence was put forward.
Faced with the lack of any evidence from the engine builders, the judge decided that the owners had not discharged the burden of proof resting on them to prove the exercise of due diligence. Owners were accordingly found liable. The three Court of Appeal judges endorsed this view.
The FJORD WIND is thus distinguishable from the MUNCASTER CASTLE, in that the former case was decided mainly on the "burden of proof" point, whereas the latter made new law as to the extent of due diligence required from a shipowner. Nevertheless, the FJORD WIND underlines the principles laid down by the House of Lords in 1960 and re-states the difficulty facing a shipowner seeking to convince an English court that he has exercised due diligence to make his vessel seaworthy.


As water leaders contend with unprecedented drought and demand, will the river people of the Colorado band together as regional citizens? Water policy expert Patricia Mulroy weighs in.
: Patricia Mulroy, a leader in the international water community, will present the University Forum lecture "Forging a Common Future: Becoming A Citizen of the Colorado River Basin," at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 16, in the Barrick Museum Auditorium. As the general manager of both the Las Vegas Valley Water District and the Southern Nevada Water Authority, Mulroy helped guide Southern Nevada through an unprecedented period of growth and one of the worst droughts in the history of the Colorado River. She is now the Senior Fellow for Climate Adaptation and Environmental Policy as well as a Practitioner in Residence for the Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution at the UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law. Here's she provides a preview of her free talk.
It's 6 am. In Denver, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Tijuana, someone is stumbling into the kitchen to grab that first cup of coffee. In the wide-open spaces of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Baja, and Sonora, a farmer is opening his head gate to water his field and tend his herd. In the depths of the Grand Canyon, a camper is emerging from his tent to marvel at the sight of an eagle winging across the chasm. Mechanics are adjusting enormous generators sending hydroelectric power to countless communities. And the birds of the Cienga de Santa Clara are heading out to find their morning meal. As distant and different as all this awakening life is, it shares one vital ingredient: water from the Colorado River.
It is a river steeped in legend and lore and often its mere mention induces competition and conflict. For most of the 20th century our competing interests have been in constant collision. Each has jockeyed to advance his needs over those of his neighbors. We quickly forgot the underlying premise of the Colorado River Compact of 1922: that the river was to be developed and managed by seven equal partner states outside the framework of traditional Western water law. Only in the last 25 years have we begun to realize that the framers of this river "constitution" were not as misguided as we thought and that cooperation and joint management of the system would be the only thing that would make a modern 21st century existence on this river possible.
Our supply is dwindling and the demand pressures are not subsiding. As science became more sophisticated and informed, we have come to realize that the amount of available water from this river is not as great as we once imagined it to be. Lawsuits and decrees over the decade further cut into what is reasonably available. And the beginnings of a fundamental shift in the climate conditions affecting the Colorado River Basin are reducing what we do have available even further. We have emerged from one of the wettest centuries in the region to the stark reality of a much drier future. At the same time global food demand is on the rise, urban populations are growing, and an ever-growing environmental ethic is demanding more resources be left in the system to protect the ecosystem.
This interconnected river community has, and continues to be, in an intense period of transformation. The fiercely defended individual water right is beginning to be moved aside by the notion of a shared responsibility and recognized interdependence. Attitudes are slowly changing as water leaders engage their communities in difficult conversations about doing more with less. These changes go right to the heart of how we see ourselves as communities and whether we can envision ourselves as part of a larger region. Yet to be born is the notion of living as the citizen of a river community, enjoying all the rights and responsibilities that accompany that privilege.

These Stats About Women In Top Jobs Are Shocking. We Can't Ignore Them.
Article Source: Huffington Post
The Fawcett Society's Sex and Power index charts the extent of male domination of positions of power – and it's not good news.
The stats are in, and the number of women in top jobs in the UK shows a "dismally slow pace of change", a leading charity has said.
The Fawcett Society's 2020 Sex and Power Index charts the extent of male domination of positions of power – and women are missing in "significant numbers" from top jobs in politics, law, civil service, trade unions, charities, professional bodies and sport bodies.
The Index also reveals an alarming lack of women of colour across the top jobs in all sectors.
"We are wasting women's talent and skills," said Sam Smethers, CEO of the Fawcett Society. "Despite much lip service about the importance of having women in top jobs, today's data shows we are still generations away from achieving anything close to equality."
The data shows:
Law: The Supreme Court has two women justices out of 12 (17%). Since its formation in 2009, there has never been a Supreme Court Judge who is a person of colour.
Business: Women make up just over one in 20 CEOs of FTSE 100 companies. This remains unchanged since the last report in 2018. None of these CEOs are women of colour.
Education: Women make up just 39% of secondary head teachers. This figure has not changed since last reported in 2018 and has risen by 6% since 2005. Women make up 30% of university vice-chancellors – but only 1% of university vice-chancellors are women are colour.
Media: Women make up only 21% of national newspaper editors – with just four women in the top jobs.
Sport: Women make up 21% of national Sport Governing Body CEOs, a drop from 26% in 2018. Only 4% of Premier League Clubs are led by women.
House of Commons: 34% of MPs are women – up only 2% in the recent election. Women of colour now make up 17% of the women MPs, which is in line with the population as a whole.
House of Lords: The percentage of women is at 27%, which is significantly lower than the Commons and up by only 1% since last reported in 2018. Only 2% of all peers are women of colour.
Devolved Parliament / Assemblies: There are no women of colour in the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales or the Northern Ireland Assembly.
Cabinet: 30% of the Cabinet are women and 47% of the Shadow Cabinet.
Civil service: Approximately a third of permanent secretaries are women (up from 31% in 2018 to 34% currently). There are no women of colour in these roles.

The Fawcett Society wants the government, political parties, the judiciary and employers to act now to ensure a change in the numbers of women in senior roles.HUFFPOST UK LIFESTYLESign Up HereThanks!You have been successfully signed up.
It's calling for gender pay gap reporting, reducing the threshold for reporting to companies with 100+ employees from the current threshold of 250 or more.
The charity wants quotas and targets, urging the government to introduce time-limited quotas that organisations must fulfil – these would be put in place to achieve gender parity, and once the gender balance is equal, they would be lifted. Fawcett also argues the government should follow up on its legislation commitment in the Queen's Speech to make flexible working the default.
And the charity is also calling for more data: government departments, particularly the Office for National Statistics, should prioritise working with relevant sectors to collect and publish intersectional data to accelerate the pace of change, it said.
"If we want change, we have to make it happen," said Smethers. "That means quotas, targets and policy interventions to remove the barriers to women's progression.
"Our research also shows the alarming lack of women of colour in the top tiers of many sectors. Fawcett's new project with the Runnymede Trust on the pay and progression of women of colour will shine a spotlight on the specific challenges and barriers they face in the workplace."

WA State of State: "Bold Direction" from Inslee on Housing Crisis
During his 2020 State of the State address, Gov. Jay Inslee called on lawmakers to act to remedy the state's affordable housing crisis. (Office of the Governor)
OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Gov. Jay Inslee called on lawmakers Tuesday to make affordable housing and ending homelessness their top priorities this session.
During his State of the State address, Inslee said the entire state is facing a crisis. Last month, he proposed using $300 million from the "rainy day" fund to add 2,100 emergency shelter beds and expand housing programs.
Michele Thomas, director of policy and advocacy for the Washington Low-Income Housing Alliance, said she appreciates the governor's commitment in his speech to embrace "big ideas."
"We have a crisis, but we also have an opportunity to show the rest of the country a path out, a pathway forward," she said. "It's going to take more than just investments in emergency shelter, but I really like the way that the governor is starting this conversation."
Thomas said her group also would like to see the state add more investments in permanent, supportive housing. Legislative leaders have said tapping the state emergency fund isn't likely, since it requires a two-thirds majority vote. Republicans have said the state already has the funds needed to work on this issue.
Thomas said people across the state agree that housing affordability and homelessness are the biggest issues facing Washington. The latest state Commerce Department report found that about 10,000 Washingtonians are living without shelter and more than 11,000 are in temporary housing. She said the rainy day fund was established for emergencies such as this, and that Inslee wants to withdraw only a fraction of the $2.5 billion available.
"So we're not drawing it empty," she said. "We're taking a small portion of it and investing it into life-saving homelessness solutions to get people off of the streets so they don't freeze in this cold weather, and so that they have an opportunity to stability their lives and live in safe, healthy, affordable housing."
Thomas said her group is calling for investments as well as new laws, such as protections for tenants against no-cause evictions and lowering barriers for nonprofits to build affordable housing.
Inslee also spoke about the need for action on climate change in his address. The 60-day legislative session is scheduled to last through March 12.
Inslee's address is online at governor.wa.gov, and more information about the Washington Low-Income Housing Alliance is at wliha.org.

If you would like to skip the tutorial and just purchase the result, just go to GraphicRiver to get my Bungalow, Cottage, Trailer and House Set.
Let's start forming a trailer's body from a 607 x 177 px #eecf98 rectangle made with the help of the Rectangle Tool (M).
After creating the rectangle, pick the top-right anchor point with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and press Enter to open the Move window. Set the Horizontal value to -55 px and the Vertical value to 0 px and press OK, moving our anchor to the left.
Create another 607 x 55 px rectangle with #eecf98 color and place it below the bottom of our main part. Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the bottom-right anchor point. Press Enter to open the Move options window again, and set the Horizontal value to -5 px and Vertical value to 0 px, moving the point to the left.
Open the same window for the bottom-left anchor point. Set the Horizontal value to 19 px and Vertical to 0 px, moving our corner to the right.
Select both shapes together and use the Unite option of the Pathfinder panel to merge them into one shape.
Using a 583 x 8 px rectangle with #4f412f color, form a stripe under the bottom.
Build one more rectangle with 552 x 67 px size on the top of trailer's body, using #613d26 to color it.
Take the Add Anchor Point Tool (+) and add an additional anchor on the bottom part of the right edge of the shape.
Using the previous method, move the top-right anchor point about 120 px to the left.
Select the top-left corner anchor point of the brown shape with the Direct Selection Tool (A). You can see the Live Corner widget shown inside the corner. Simply grab the widget and pull it to the center, making the corner rounded.
Let's add an outline to the roof section.
Select the roof shape and go to Object > Path > Offset Path. Enter -4.5 px into the Offset value field and press OK. Set the Fill color of the inner shape to #eecf98.
Take the Direct Selection Tool (A) and drag the bottom side of the resulting shape down while holding down Shift, making it sit on the same level as the top edge of the camper's body.
Time to decorate our camper with stripes.
Build a 750 x 113 px rectangle (#c25c34), placing it under the upper edge of the main trailer shape.
Form a second 750 x 28.5 px stripe of the same color which goes across the side anchors of the camper base.
Let's cut off the parts of the stripes that stand outside the base trailer shape.
Select the stripes together with the main shape. Then use the Shape Builder Tool (Shift-M). While holding the Alt key, click and hold the left mouse button on a free area near the borders of the unwanted stripe part, drag along the outstanding parts, and release the mouse to delete them. Repeat the action for the other side.
Make two 110 x 60 px rectangles (#bfa989) for the windows, placing them near the left and right parts of the larger red stripe.
Select the windows and go to Object > Path > Offset Path. Enter 3 px for the Offset and set the Fill color of the outlines to #613d26.
Start creating a door by forming a 96 x 252 px rounded shape (#613d26) on the left part of the trailer near the left window. Leave an empty space between the door and the right window for the smaller window, which we will add later.
Use the Offset Path for the door shape, setting the Offset value to -4.5 px. Change the color of the inner shape to #c25c34.
Build a simple door handle by creating a 14 x 14 px circle with the Ellipse Tool (L) (#4f412f) and a 28.5 x 4.5 px rounded rectangle (#664b2e).
Add an 87 x 7.5 px horizontal rounded rectangle under the door, filling it with #45392a.
Form two 4 x 24.5 vertical rectangles of the same color, placing them below the horizontal shape on the left and the right sides, making them overlap the shape.
Add one more horizontal stripe which goes between the two vertical rectangles for the step.
Let's add a smaller window on the empty space near the door.
Form a 65 x 65 px rectangle (#613d26) and go to Object > Path > Offset Path, setting the Offset to -4.5 px and coloring the inner shape to #bfa989.
Build a 79 x 7.5 px rectangle of #eecf98 color over the top edge of the window.
Take the Ellipse Tool (L) and create a 75.5 x 75.5 px circle of #4f412f color for the wheel. Add two smaller circles inside: one 48 x 48 px circle of #d9b97b color and a 42 x 42 px circle without Fill but with a 2 px stroke of #80624f color.
Create one more 17 x 17 px circle (#fde0a1) in the middle.
Create a small 3 x 3 px circle (#80624f), placing it under the previously created outlined circle without fill. Keeping the smaller circle selected, add the inner circle to the selection and click again on the inner shape, making it a Key Object. Align to Key Object is automatically selected in the Control panel and Align panel.
In the Align panel (Window > Align) or Control panel, click on the Horizontal Align Center button.
Select the small circle, take the Rotate Tool (R), and then Alt/Option-click in the middle of the wheel. In the Rotate panel, set the Angle to 30° and click the Copy button. Press Control-D to repeat the last action, and continue pressing Control-D to add all 12 circles around the center (1).
Start to create a decorative rim by forming a 92 x 32 px rectangle with no Fill and with #fde0a1 color stroke of 9 pt Width, placing it under the top of the wheel and aligning to its center using the Align panel (2).
Drag its top anchors horizontally by 15 px towards the center (just use the Move panel as we did before) (3).
Delete the bottom side by clicking on it with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and pressing Delete (4).
Remove the outstanding top part of the wheel (5) with the help of the Shape Builder Tool (Shift-M) (5).
Using the Pen Tool (P), draw an angled shape sitting on the borders of our rim and hide it behind the wheel (6).
Group (Control-G) all the wheel parts together and put it on the trailer.
Build a 50 x 13.5 px (#222529) rectangle under the small window and form a 3 px outline using the Offset Path method, setting its color to #d9b97b. Add two thin stripes of the same color inside the shape and Group (Control-G) its parts together.
Copy the vent and place the copy over the bottom decorative stripe of the trailer. Make the color of the outlines a bit darker.
Time to add a small door on the bottom part of the trailer.
Just form a 83.5 x 34 px rectangle (#c25c34) outside the trailer and slightly round its corners. Add a 4.5 px outline using the Offset Path, setting its color to #fde0a1.
Draw a 16 x 5 px rectangle (#fde0a1) below the top edge of the red inner part, aligning to its middle. Drag its bottom anchors slightly towards the central axis and make them rounded.
Place a 6 x 6 px circle (#d9b97b) in the center of the angled shape and add a small rounded rectangle in the middle (#4f412f), forming a keyhole.
Add two 11.5 x 5 px rectangles (#4f412f) on the bottom edge of the outline for the hinges. Group (Control-G) all the parts together and place the door on the bottom-right part of the trailer.
The next part we are going to create is a trailer stand.
Build a 68 x 12 px rectangle, coloring it with #b3532d. Select the shape and go to Object > Transform > Rotate. Set the Angle value to 45 degrees and press OK.
Form a 17 x 17 px rectangle (#eecf98) in front of the bottom part and make its top rounded. Build a 50 x 9 px shape (#d9b97b), attaching it to the bottom edge of the rounded rectangle. Make its upper anchors rounded.
Make a smaller copy of the red rectangle and rotate it by 45 degrees to the left side. Change the color to darker red (#9c4827). Hide the copy behind the larger shape, placing its top anchor on the same level.
Group (Control-G) the parts of the stand and place it on the bottom-left part of our trailer. To make sure that our stand sits on the same level as the bottom of the wheel, use the Vertical Align Bottom option of the Align panel. Then create a reflected copy of the stand on the right side of the camper.
Our trailer needs a hitch—a detail which can attach it to a car.
Build a 89 x 15.5 px rectangle (#b3532d), dragging its bottom-right anchor up by a few pixels.
Add one more 7.5 x 13 px vertical shape (#eecf98) on the right side and two crossing rectangles, using #eecf98 color for the lighter color and #66452e for the darker color.
Hide the crossing shapes between the right vertical rectangle and then hide the three smaller rectangles behind the larger shape.
Group (Control-G) all the parts, putting the resulting hitch behind the bottom-right side of the trailer.
Add a few more details to the camper, such as smaller doors, a windscreen, and parking lights.
You can go further by finding some references on the internet and adding your own details.
To make it look more vivid and real, we need to add some shadows and shiny parts to the trailer.
Let's start by adding reflections to the left window. Select it with the Direct Selection Tool (A), and then right-click and choose Isolate Selected Path from the drop-down menu. The isolated window appears in full color, while the rest of the artwork appears dimmed. Create two long vertical rectangles (#fef7d9) of different widths outside the window shape.
Selecting the vertical rectangles, go to Object > Transform > Rotate to rotate them by 45 degrees. Drag the angled rectangles to our window and cut off the outstanding pieces. Press Esc to exit isolation mode or just double-click outside of the isolated group.
Create reflections for the other windows, working the same way. Don't forget to isolate them before making other manipulations.
Now we will create a highlight on the roof.
Select the main roof shape with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and Copy it, using Control-C. Click Control-F twice to get two copies in front of the main object. Move the top copy up, making it overlap the roof, and then add the second copy to the selection.
Use the Intersect option of the Pathfinder and change the color of the resulting shape to #fde5b6, getting the highlight on the roof.
Since we have finished the highlights, it's time to add shadows to the camper.
Select the largest light base of the camper and make two copies in front of it. Drag one copy down, placing its top edge above the lower red stripe.
Stretch the copy horizontally by holding down the Alt key and dragging with the Direct Selection Tool (V), making it fully overlap the base of the trailer.
Add the second copy to the selection and use the Intersect option of the Pathfinder panel. Change the color of the resulting part to #d9b97b.
In the same way, add a shadow to the lower part of the door.
Let's make a shadow for the wheel. It will be a bit harder.
Double-click on the wheel group to get inside of it. Form a dark grey rectangle overlapping the top part of the wheel. Select the rectangle together with the outer wheel circle and remove the outstanding parts.
Hide the resulting shape behind the top angled wheel guard and go to the Transparency panel, setting the Blending Mode to Multiply while lowering the Opacity to 40%.
Group (Control-G) all the camper parts together.
All we need now is a background landscape that suits our camper. We will add a few cacti, a ground level, and a shining moon above the desert which will create the atmosphere.
Let's start creating the background elements by making two cacti. Use simple rectangles to construct each cactus shape. Then merge them into one figure with the Unite option of the Pathfinder and round the corners by dragging the circle indicator of each anchor. Set the color of the plants to #c7873e.
Make a 830 x 132 px rounded rectangle (#d99b41) for a ground level.
Add two shadow parts on the bottom part by creating darker rectangles and deleting the outstanding parts.
Position the camper on the ground level and spread a few smaller rounded rectangles over the ground to imitate a sand texture.
Place our cacti near the camper.
Take the Pen Tool (P) and draw a silhouette of desert mountains. You can use some photos from the internet for the reference. I was inspired by Arizona desert views while I was creating these mountains.
Use #cc923d to color the mountains and add a square background, filling it with #f2bc55.
Add a shining moon of #f7ead7 color with the Ellipse Tool (L), hiding it behind the mountains.
To fill the empty space and add depth to our landscape, create a cloud-like shape behind the moon with the help of the Pen Tool (P) or the Rectangle Tool (M), making the corners of the resulting shape rounded.
Add a simple silhouette of a flying bird, placing it over the moon circle.
Congratulations! Our illustration is finished.
Use your imagination and feel the atmosphere of a moonlit night, when night birds and animals are screaming somewhere in the desert mountains while you are enjoying your hot tea on the doorstep of your camper home. Sounds like a good plan for spending a weekend, doesn't it?
As for me, I hope you enjoyed creating this scene with me and learned some new tricks using the simple tools of Adobe Illustrator.
Now you are able to create your own travel scenes based on wonderful places all over the world.
This camping trailer illustration is only a part of my Bungalow, Cottage, Trailer and House Set, and there are far more travel and adventure illustrations in my portfolio on GraphicRiver.

Who Was Leonardo Da Vinci?
HomeAnswersCulture
By Jamie, Facty Staff
Leonardo da Vinci lived during the Italian Renaissance, and is often referred to as the "Renaissance man." He was a brilliant scientist, engineer, painter, and architect. The most famous works of Leonardo da Vinci are the "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper."
Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452, in the town of Anchiano in Tuscany, now Italy. He was born out of wedlock and was an illegitimate child originally called only Leonardo or "Il Florentine" after his home in Florence.
1. Early Life
Leonardo's father was a local lawyer and sent him to Florence as an apprentice to Andrea del Verrocchio, a sculptor and painter. Da Vinci became an independent master artist in Florence's Guild of Saint Luke in 1478 at the age of 20. He moved to Milan to work for the Sforza family in 1483. The Sforzas were the ruling family at the time, and they hired da Vinci as an engineer, sculptor, painter, and architect. Milan was invaded by the French in 1499, forcing the Sforza family to flee, and da Vinci to return to Florence.

Well after five months and many cycles of celebration and frustration, I'm once again facing the opportunity of my St. Louis Cardinals being in post-season play. It looks they have a real chance to be one of the Wild Card teams in the National League. They still have some work in front of them against some contending teams – and that is as it should be.
A Wild Card team? I grew up with the belief that there were winners and losers (and definitely no participation awards). No one cared about 2nd place (or in the Cards case this year, maybe 3rd in our division as a Wild Card winner). Getting to the playoffs was an award to the division winners to participate in post-season and have the potential to win the championship. I struggled the 1st time the 1997 Florida Marlins won the World Series as a Wild Card team.
I have since come to understand the value of this approach to baseball. I'll admit that it hasn't hurt that my Cards have been a Wild Card team – even winning a World Series Championship as the result of it in 2011. I'm still a strong believer in traditions and history, but I also (sometimes grudgingly) accept change as a positive force. And as a small business owner in the technology world, change is often not just a positive force – but a competitive advantage.
The 2018 season offers a great example of the positive benefits of the Wild Card. At this stage on the calendar, there are still a more than a dozen teams that are fighting for a post-season opportunity. That opportunity did not exist 40 years ago.
Without the Wild Card, Boston would have been crowned American League champion already and there would only be a couple teams in the National League with even a chance to win the title.
The Wild Card approach has added a higher level of interest for millions more fans – and it is also an economic boom for the industry, the employees, vendors, etc. Even the players say it helps keep them motivated and playing at a higher level because there is more meaning to these late games in the season.
Change is inevitable and we've discussed its impact with HL Group in previous posts. Over the course of our two decades in business we have re-written our business plan more times than sometimes I care to admit, but always with an attitude towards success. This month alone we are launching our latest version of the website, a new CRM and a couple of new teaming / marketing initiatives. Embracing strategic change is a competitive advantage – and like the Wild Card, change can be a positive force.
My only request for this week is that whatever higher power you connect to – would you ask that they look after my Cardinals? I'm mentally ready and strong enough to handle a few more weeks of baseball until Halloween!

And over the years, I've found that the more Asher understands the WHYs for the kinds of things we're working on with him, the more invested he becomes in the process himself. Recently while on holiday in Croatia, I got the chance to see this in action.
One morning, we decided to go on a three-hour sea kayaking tour. My husband Derin had his own kayak, while Asher and I were paired in a two-seater — he was in front (the "Captain") and I was in the back (the "engine").
The water was COLD and the waves choppy and we were going to be on the water for a while. Asher was looking forward to the whole thing, but I was more than a little concerned that sticking him on a small boat with no opportunity to stop, turn around, or instantly be warm and dry, could be a recipe for disaster. But I crossed my fingers and we struck out with the other fifteen or so people in our group.
> Over the years, I've found that the more Asher understands the WHYs for the kinds of things we're working on with him, the more invested he becomes in the process himself.
It only took a few minutes before a huge swell washed over the kayak and completely soaked us. (Did I mention the water was cold?). We both howled with surprise, but I shifted my squeals to laughter and soon Asher joined in. And as we made our way across the water to Lokrum Island, the strong headwind making us work twice as hard to make any progress, the waves continuing to sweep over our boat, Ash kept his positive attitude.
His arms aching, Asher took occasional breaks. But when I pointed out that without his rowing we were actually losing ground, he joined in with vigor.
This spurred him to row even harder, laughing as he turned up the speed about 150 percent, chanting Grit!Grit!Grit!
I had made the comment in jest, but I also knew it was true. I knew Asher was cold, wet, tired, and uncomfortable, with nary a book or iPad in sight. And I knew that being all of those things was actually a great thing for him. I knew it was helping him develop his perseverance muscle, not to mention practicing flexibility.
And because these are the kinds of things we talk about on a regular basis, he knew it, too. And that knowledge fueled him.
When reached our midway point — a little cove where we came ashore to warm up in the sun and down a ham and cheese sandwich — we talked about the challenges of making the crossing and discussed how great it would be to have the wind at our backs for the way home.
> I knew Asher was cold, wet, tired, and uncomfortable, with nary a book or iPad in sight. And I knew that being all of those things was actually a great thing for him.
I couldn't help but notice how happy and proud he was. He was the only kid in the bunch. He felt strong, capable, and accomplished. And when I mentioned how hard he'd worked as my rowing teammate, he beamed.
Grit. Patience. Flexibility. Perseverance. Our kids want to develop these traits. And they can build them one experience at time. Our job is to simply point it out when it's happening. They'll take care of the rest.

Q: Почему не работает переименование контроллера в ASP.NET с Angular? При создании нового приложения ASP.NET с Angular, в ASP по умолчанию создаётся контроллер WeatherForecastController (доступ к нему через https://localhost:PORT/weatherforecast), в Angular прописывается соответствующее содержимое файла proxy.conf.js:
    const PROXY_CONFIG = [
      {
        context: [
          "/weatherforecast",
        ],
        target: "https://localhost:7276",
        secure: false
      }
    ]

    module.exports = PROXY_CONFIG;

Я переименовал контроллер, изменив его со следующим образом (файл с контроллером также переименовал):
[ApiController]
[Route("feedback")]
public class FeedBackController : ControllerBase
{
    private readonly ILogger<FeedBackController> _logger;

    public FeedBackController(ILogger<FeedBackController> logger)
    {
        _logger = logger;
    }

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Get() => Ok();

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Post() => Ok();
}

А также изменил содержимое файла proxy.conf.js:
    const PROXY_CONFIG = [
      {
        context: [
          "/feedback",
        ],
        target: "https://localhost:7276",
        secure: false
      }
    ]

    module.exports = PROXY_CONFIG;

Но при попытке вызвать в коде компонента Angular функцию
    http.get('/feedback').subscribe(result => alert('OK!'), error => console.error(error));

Получаю ошибку:

При этом, стоит вернуть имя weatherforecast, как всё начинает работать:

Так как же его переименовать?

DOWC® Announces NitroShield
May 5, 2020 • by FI Staff
DOWC®, a leading provider and administrator of F&I products and services, introduces NitroShield, a complete tire and wheel protection product.

RINGWOOD, N.J. — Dealer Owned Warranty Company (DOWC®), a leading provider and administrator of F&I products and services, introduces NitroShield, a complete tire and wheel protection product.
We think vehicle owners should drive with peace of mind, where the rubber meets the road.
As part one of a complete tire and wheel protection system to improve car safety and efficiency, NitroShield begins with replacing the tires' conventional air with 99% pure nitrogen. NitroShield benefits include extending the overall life of the tire, better fuel efficiency and improved handling of the vehicle - all due to tire-pressure retention. Maintaining a vehicle's tires will not only maximize tire life and fuel economy, but also assure that the car handles well.
Because tires and wheels work together, NitroShield is bundled with WheelShield, a class-leading, professionally applied wheel treatment which protects the painted and clear-coated surfaces of alloy and steel wheels. WheelShield's nano-technology adds extra protection to the wheel by preventing the buildup of brake dust, for cooler operation and a lasting shine. Both NitroShield and WheelShield are backed by warranties that provide for the repair, refurbishment, cleaning, and/or replacement of any covered parts.
"We think vehicle owners should drive with peace of mind, where the rubber meets the road," said Michael LaMotta, founder of DOWC. "We are excited to offer NitroShield to dealers, so drivers can take tires off their list of things to worry about when they go back out on the open road."
All new cars built since 2008 are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, but TPMS warning lights only come on when one or more of the tires is already 25% underinflated. Problems can occur much sooner than that. Improper tire inflation can lead to a myriad of problems, including: uneven and/or accelerated tire wear, lower fuel efficiency, unpredictable handling, damage to wheel, and even catastrophic tire failure.
Nitrogen tire inflation has been used for several years as a superior alternative to air in Formula One and NASCAR vehicles, heavy-duty off-road equipment, and by NASA and other commercial and military aircraft. Despite the benefits, nitrogen has been scarcely available to consumers as a tire fill option. Until now.
A natural inert gas, nitrogen is not dangerous, and is environmentally safe and non-combustible. Nitrogen will not burn and has a life expectancy well beyond 20 years, if well maintained. Seventy-nine percent of the air we breathe is nitrogen.
As an environmentally friendly automotive solution, inflating car and truck tires with nitrogen has several benefits, including maintaining of proper tire inflation, maximizing the life of the tire, and improving overall performance. Additionally, a tire filled with nitrogen should not heat up and expand.
Another benefit of NitroShield is that during the fill process, the existing air and moisture inside the tire are purged, so the inside of the nitrogen-filled tire remains drier. This inhibits oxidation of the metal wheel and makes for a more stable operating environment, regardless of variations in temperature.
In contrast, a tire that is underinflated is more likely to prematurely fail because when the tire rolls, it flexes more than it was designed to do. The flexing leads to bending of the tire's rubber and steel which generates heat. Heat is a tire's worst enemy, and accelerates tire wear. Air is not an inert gas, and is affected by the change in temperature, which affects the rate of air loss.
NitroShield is just one of a full suite of customizable products available to DOWC partner dealers and their customers.

Q&A with Joshua Wheatley, Drummer and Instructor at Berklee Valencia
By Lucía Burbano March 14, 2018
Joshua Wheatley M. M. '17 performs at a Berklee's campus in Valencia event. Picture by tato Baeza.
"My Berklee experience exposed me to a multitude of cultures and musical genres, along with great performance and studio experience. The instruction I received and my dedication to my craft helped me develop into a solid, confident musician."
At 23, Joshua Wheatley M.M. '17 is one of the youngest faculty members at Berklee's campus in Valencia, Spain. He joined the university after graduating and masterminding the Contemporary Instrumental Gospel Ensemble, which was incorporated into the curriculum of the newly created Berklee Study Abroad program. In 2016, he launched his first album, Crisis, which he has performed at several venues in Valencia.
Why did you decide to pursue a master's degree in Berklee's Contemporary Performance (Production Concentration) program at the Valencia campus?
My decision was based on my long history with Berklee, which started in 2009 when I attended the One Week Percussion Festival and later on in 2011 when I got accepted to the Five Week Summer Program. By then, I knew Berklee was the only place I wanted to be, so I applied and began [pursuing] my bachelor's degree in Boston in 2012. In spring 2014, I came to Valencia for one semester as a Berklee Study Abroad student. During this time, I was asked by multiple master's students to perform on their projects, gigs, and recording sessions. I loved it and met some wonderful people. It also allowed me insight into what the master's students were doing in the program, which sparked the thought in my mind of what I could pursue for my culminating experience if I were to attend.
Watch Wheatley perform at the Commencement Concert 2017 with John McLaughlin and fellow graduate students:
What opportunities did you have in Valencia that you otherwise might have lacked?
Though the campus is smaller than Boston, the opportunities in Valencia are equally great. And with the benefit of being Europe, it makes it easier to travel to other countries. The close-knit community in Valencia allowed me to get connected with the local musicians. Europe has an openness to newer forms of jazz, which I also appreciate.
How has your Berklee experience influenced you as a professional?
My Berklee experience exposed me to a multitude of cultures and musical genres, along with great performance and studio experience. The instruction I received and my dedication to my craft helped me develop into a solid, confident musician. Three people, in particular, helped me grow: Víctor Mendoza, who saw my ability and collaborative spirit and has presented me with many opportunities in and outside of Berklee; Ralph Peterson, my drum instructor at Boston, who taught me about approaching music from different perspectives in addition to challenging me as an all-round musician; and finally, David Fiuczynski, microtonal guitarist and professor at Boston, who pushed the boundaries of my musicality, took me out of my comfort zone and enabled me to unleash a new kind of creativity on the drums. I was also honored to perform with Fuze at the Microtonal Festival in Berlin, Germany, and the ShapeShifter Lab in Brooklyn, New York. I was also in the Mahavishnu Ensemble that Fiuczynski taught, which is fascinating because little did I know I would be performing with John McLaughlin at the Berklee Valencia commencement ceremony a year later.
Would you advise prospective students to come to Berklee's Valencia campus for their master's programs?
Absolutely. This campus has much to offer for musicians looking to work hard and take their ability and career to the next level.
You currently teach at Berklee Study Abroad and First Year Abroad programs. How did you land this opportunity?
In 2014, while still studying, I began the development of my ensemble curriculum CIGE (Contemporary Instrumental Gospel Ensemble). My plan was to offer to a music school, and the first one I thought of was Berklee Valencia as this was my opportunity to give back to Berklee and help inspire other students. I met with Víctor Mendoza during an advising meeting and presented my idea to him. He supported, encouraged, and recognized the ability that I had to teach. He recommended I present it to María Iturriaga, who became very interested and mentioned that it could be something ideal for the First Year Abroad program, which was about to be launched the following semester.
Watch students perform as part of the Contemporary Instrumental Gospel Ensemble:
How does the Contemporary Instrumental Gospel Ensemble contribute to the program's curriculum?
After moving from England to America with my family in 2003, I was exposed to my first contemporary gospel album. At 8 years old, I remember the first time I heard that sound; I was captivated by the energy, harmony, and power that it has. In order to teach this music, I needed to come up with a chart system to account for all the sounds that occur in the music because traditionally it is learned purely by ear in church and passed down from generation to generation. I also wanted to make things streamlined by having everyone read the same chart instead of individual parts. In my class, we perform instrumental compositions that I compose specifically for the ensemble to learn, using my chart system, about the harmonic, melodic, rhythmic concepts, and instrumentation used in a contemporary gospel band, in addition to hype arrangements of popular music that I also write and we perform with guest vocalists upon audition. I like to keep things fresh and creative so I write all my own arrangements. My students in the ensemble have expressed to me how much they enjoy the class—so much so, that this semester I had study abroad students join because their friends in Boston told them about it! Currently I am in the process of preparing material which I am copyrighting for my first book.
You were a graduate student less than one year ago. How does it feel to be an instructor?
I taught a jazz program for two summers for elementary and middle school students, in addition to teaching private lessons. I was approached to teach at the Berklee Global Partners (BGP) school San Francisco, Quito, in Ecuador, during my undergraduate studies and thoroughly enjoyed the teaching experience. In high school, I was mentoring students in a jazz combo, as well as being the drummer for the jazz big band and taking part in the classical ensemble. Upon completing my master's degree, I had studied for a total of five years at Berklee, so the knowledge, musicianship, and ability I had acquired made the student to instructor leap a smooth one.
How would you define your teaching method?
I believe that in music, learning comes through three things: practice, listening, and enjoyment, all of which are equally important. As a teacher, it is essential to be passionate and allow that passion to create an environment of excitement and possibility. I believe in challenging students to the point of deep concentration and through repetition observing the breakthrough into new levels. My leadership serves as an example to students in how to logically and patiently approach learning new concepts. In teaching, it is important to remember we all were once students and all the feelings that come with that. Life is a journey of learning.
You also launched your debut album, Crisis. Can you tell us more?
I launched Crisis in August 2016, and was honored to have some great musicians on the album: Hooni Min on piano and Tabari Lake on bass, who were in the master's degree program with me. I also had two incredible guest saxophonists from Valencia on the album: Jesús Santandreu and Víctor Jiménez Gómez. The album was beautifully mixed and mastered by Katsuhiko Naito at Avatar Studios, NYC. It is available on Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, and many other streaming services. In the future, when my schedule permits, I will tour with the album. I am constantly performing gigs here in Valencia with both local and Berklee musicians, and through Berklee I have had the opportunity to perform in various countries.

Twitter is planning to provide more Ads API for advertisers
advertisement, advertising, apps, contentmarketing, digitalmarketing, news, Social-Media, Technology, Twitter
Twitter is a platform that not only focuses on bringing new services for its users but also for brands who are using this platform to advertise. Previously, Twitter used to provide a space for third-party data sources for different companies to use according to their ad requirements.
New policy launched by Twitter
Advertisers used the standardized policy of advertisement on Twitter by using audience data from third-party sources and utilizing it according to its ad requirements but not anymore. Now Twitter just launched a new policy that offers advertisers to use Twitter Ads API instead of third-party sources. According to Twitter, this change will begin next year and the core focus behind this new policy is to create a way in which advertisers use audience data through Twitter Ads API that gives more improved results and flexibility to Twitter partners and its customers.
After the launch of this new policy, advertisers will need to purchase their own data instead of going towards third-party sources and later on the Twitter team will approve these data sources for advertisers to use accordingly.

What is the need for this policy?
This new policy raised a lot of questions regarding the need for this new policy and how it will benefit advertisers. Currently, with the previous policy operating on Twitter marketers have the option to either use third-party data sources offered by Twitter which includes the ad cost of the external data sources and total ad costs as well. With this new policy, advertisers will need to purchase their own external data sources and not from Twitter anymore. Some of the Twitter advertisers are already using their own data sources to buy ads instead of Twitter's external data sources. This new policy is expected to be launched from January 1, 2020, and at the same time, Twitter will be removing third-party data sources from its platform as well.
The team of Twitter's core focus is to provide a platform with the best experience for not only customers but also for advertisers from a variety of companies. Third-party data sources always had the risk of data breaches, so this new policy is not just preventing any privacy violation but also helping advertisers to know about the authenticity of its data sources.

Ivan Štrpka (* 30. června 1944, Hlohovec, Slovensko) je slovenský básník, textař, prozaik a překladatel. Je členem básnické skupiny Osamělí běžci a je známý také z dlouhodobé textařské spolupráce s Dežem Ursinym.

Život
Narodil se v účetnicko-učitelské rodině, část svého dětství strávil v obci Pata a vzdělání] získával ve Veľkém Záluží, v Seredi a po krátké pauze pokračoval ve studiu v letech 1963–1969, kdy studoval obor slovenština - španělština na Filozofické fakultě Univerzity Komenského v Bratislavě. Po maturitě pracoval v Geologickém průzkumu, během studia na vysoké škole působil zároveň jako redaktor v literárních časopisech. Od roku 1970 byl redaktorem vydavatelství Slovenský spisovatel. V letech 1971–1973 redaktorem vydavatelství Tatran. Od roku 1973 působil jako dramaturg pro děti a mládež ve Slovenské televizi v Bratislavě. V roku 1987 se stal nejprve zástupcem šéfredaktora týdeníku Mladé rozlety, potom zástupce šéfredaktora nového periodika Literárny týždenník a v letech 1990–1993 byl šéfredaktorem časopisu Kultúrny život. V období let 1999–2010 byl šéfredaktorem časopisu Romboid.

Tvorba
První básně začal uveřejňovat v roce 1961 v časopise Mladá tvorba, knižního debutu se dočkal až v roce 1969, kdy mu vyšla básnická sbírka Krátke detstvo kopijníkov. Ve svých dílech se snaží vyjádřit zážitkový a fantazijně-pohádkový svět svého dětství, který mu splývá s bájným dávnověkem lidstva. Charakteristickým znakem je pro jeho básně odhodlání k často riskantnímu činu, prověřování mravní, ale i fyzické způsobilosti postav, přecházení od reality do fantazie, prolínání dvou světů, ale také časté používání závorek, které napomáhají oddělovat tyto světy a uvědomovat si jejich rozdílnost.

 1969 – Cena Ivana Kraska
 1995 – Cena asociace spisovatelských organizací Slovenska
 1997 – Cena Dominika Tatarky
 2003 – Cena Tatra banky
